- Mozzarella is like, string cheese, right?
Essentially, it should be a little--
(energetic guitar music) (laughing)
- Hi, my name is Stanley.
- I'm Teddy.
- I'm Rachel.
- I'm Emily!
- And today we are--
- Taste testing--
- [Both] Mozzarella sticks!
- From various places.
- We're just trying to figure out where their home is.
- Where the cheese at?
- So, I feel like, once you have one,
you kinda have them all.
(laughs) I mean, just--
- I don't know. - I can't really tell.
- Do you like mozzarella sticks?
- Okay, I love mozzarella sticks,
and I feel like I'm gonna be good at this.
- [Producer] That's what everybody says.
- That's what everybody says?
Heyy.
(piano music)
- So, this is the first one. - Okay.
- I don't know. - Classic.
- Yeah. - It's the standard.
- [Stanley] It's looking good, it's looking good.
- Do you want the spoogey one or the pretty one?
I'll take the spoogey one, so you can have the pretty one.
- No, I'll take the spoogey one
'cause I'm like a spoogey person,
and you're the pretty one. - Okay, great.
Well, here's the thing,
presentation is like--
I guess it kind of matters at a restaurant,
but it's a mozzarella stick,
we all know it's gonna explode everywhere.
That's what happens with them, so, anyway.
- This is pretty good.
There's some spillage action going on in this one.
- That's always good. - Is it good?
- That's a good sign.
- This, I think, is Buffalo Wild Wings.
- Mm.
- Because I feel like that's Hooters,
'cause those look better and bigger!
- I am gonna say--
- I'm gonna say Hooters off the bat.
- Hooters?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- IHOP.
- Wow, I feel like that was a good move, okay.
- I'll go with IHOP.
I don't know why, I'm just gonna say it.
So, I feel like this is IHOP.
All right, moving on?
(energetic rock music)
- Okay, these ones, I was really excited about
because they look so promising.
- They do, these look like a proper mozzarella stick.
- Just a, this is it. (laughing)
And this is how--
(angelic singing)
- These are well coated.
I feel like they're gonna have a nice crunch to it.
- Yeah, they're like flat, though.
Is yours flat?
Like it's kinda--
- We don't have the cheese spillage on this one.
- Well, mine has a little. - Oh, there it is.
- A little action there. - There it is, there it is.
See, how that's you know it's good.
- Mozzarella is like string cheese, right?
Essentially, it should be a little--
(energetic rock music)
Yeah, I don't know, this feels better.
The crust makes me immediately wanna think
that this is Buffalo Wild Wings.
And so does the flavor!
(crunching) - Boom.
It's very hard, with this--
- Yup. - Is that, yeah.
- The seasoning, though, I think it's much better.
- I was just holding myself in because it's not good.
- [Emily] It tastes kinda like chicken.
- It's not chicken, is it?
- No, not at all.
- These will definitely pair well with chicken wings.
So I'm gonna say Buffalo Wild Wings on this one.
- You think this is a B-dubs?
- Yeah, 'cause I think I taste some of the chicken
and they fry 'em in the same oil.
- Yeah, it's probably all in the same, like, bath, yeah.
Though, would they do that?
- God, I hope so. - I feel like if there's
like a vegan that came in-- - This is gonna be Hooters.
- I was just gonna say, is this (bleep)in' Hooters?
Buffalo Wild Wings and Hooters both got the wings.
- Buffalo Wild Wings?
- (sniffs) I don't know, can I smell the chicken on it?
(sniffing)
I don't know, I could see it.
I could see it, though. - Yeah?
- I'll go with that.
- So I'm still, I'm sticking with Buffalo Wild Wings.
(bouncy lounge music)
- This is the third one.
I think we both agreed up front, these look the worst.
- They absolutely do.
- Well, you know what?
It may be delicious.
Also, I'll keep getting the sploogey ones.
- Okay, if you want. - Yeah.
- My one's still-- - I don't mind
a little splooge. - It looks, it looks okay.
- All right, yeah, let's try it.
(crunching)
Ugh.
- What is that?
- [Rachel] It smells like the seasoning.
- It smells like applesauce.
Ugh. - You don't look excited.
- Yuck.
- Can I skip this one?
- This is a straight up cheese stick,
this is Chuck E. Cheese for sure, this unbelievable--
- [Rachel] Chuck E. Cheese!
- There's no crunch whatsoever, it's just kinda gooey.
- I'm just gonna say this one's
Chuck E. Cheese just because-- - Yeah.
- I'm thinking that that might be IHOP.
But I also feel like Chuck E. Cheese wouldn't be this good.
- I feel like, yeah.
I feel like, yeah.
- My question is, how do they recycle the cheese sticks?
(ominous music) - Mm.
- Like they recycle the pizza.
- I don't know.
- If it's not Chuck E. Cheese's,
I am gonna write someone a letter.
- Sorry, Chuck E. Cheese. - Still love ya, though.
Still love ya. - I mean,
we might be wrong, too. - Yeah.
(string music)
- This is the last one and these look normal.
- Yeah, they look very normal.
- I think that there's a possibility
that these could be Chuck E. Cheese.
- Yeah, these are nice, golden brown,
I feel like they're gonna have a nice crunch to it.
- Yeah.
- You can already see the cheese.
- [Stanley] Oh yeah, yeah.
- [Teddy] Yeah, see?
(sniffing)
- Good smell, good crunch going on.
- I can't keep them in front of my mouth,
I have to eat them.
(crunches) - [Stanley] Whoa.
- [Teddy] These are really good.
- Yeah, I like it.
- Think I'm gonna go with IHOP on this.
- I think I said this was IHOP.
- I'm gonna try this one again.
- You gotta switch. - You wanna try it again?
- Mine is the sploogey one, right?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- Okay, going back to this one.
(claps)
This is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
- Yeah, I think I could say Hooters for this.
I could see that. - Yeah?
- (sniffs) Hmm.
- IHOP?
- Yeah, I think so.
- Yeah, I'm curious now, how we gonna reveal this?
Is it written on the bottom of the plate
or something or what?
- [Producer] Check.
- (laughs) Check.
Nope, damn. (laughing)
(drumming)
- We think these guys are from Buffalo Wild Wings.
- We do.
- Hooters.
- IHOP.
(buzzer)
- Okay, that's not that bad.
- I am not so mad, okay.
(dings) - Uh!
- Yeah!
- That makes sense, though,
because they were like, exactly what you said,
chicken flavored? - Right, so--
- And then those were the best ones.
Like, those are dope. - Those are pretty good.
- So, number two, this is our favorite one, right here.
- Yup.
- So are we-- - Top one.
- We both said B-dubs, yeah. - B-dubs, yup,
Buffalo Wild Wings. - Buffalo Wild Wings.
- We thought that they were Hooters,
but now, knowing that the first ones were Hooters,
we're assuming that these are Buffalo Wild Wings.
- But our answer is Hooters.
- Yes. - Yeah.
- [Producer] Those are Buffalo Wild Wings.
(buzzes)
(dings) - Whoa, whoa!
- Yes, quality's the thing, yeah.
- All right, this one-- - Yo, Chuck E. Cheese?
- Is it right? - Chuck E. Cheese?
- Is it the kids'?
- We could still pull through in a clutch right now, too.
- We could, all right. - Okay.
- Chuck E. Cheese. - This one is Chuck E. Cheese.
- I feel like this is definitely Chuck E. Cheese.
- Definitely Chuck E. Cheese. - Is it?
(dings) - [Producer] Definitely
Chuck E. Cheese.
- Ohp. - There we go,
three for three. - I knew it,
the kids, they wouldn't care.
(laughs) Just eat it.
(dings) - Thank God!
So the last one is--
- [Both] IHOP. (dings)
- You were four for four?
- I'm scared that I got all of them right, I don't know,
that was nothing. - Wow.
- Which makes sense for this one too,
because it's like pretty regular looking.
- Mmhmm. - And makes, like,
sense for, like, it to be a food chain.
But these were good, these weren't bad.
- No, they weren't bad.
- Is this like one of your skills, is like? (laughs)
- I, God, I hope so. (laughs)
That would be fun.
- It'll come in handy,
when you have another taste test,
yeah, you should see if he's like a returning champion.
(laughs)
